Cheesy Nail Art

This past weekend I did a broadcast at the 6th Annual California Artisan Cheese Festival. I love this festival, so much good cheese! And generally there's wine and beer to pair with the cheese, so that doesn't hurt either. Here are the nails that I paired with our broadcast.

I stared with a base of China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, then painted 'swiss cheese' holes using yellow, brown, and white acrylic paints. I topped with Seche Vite topcoat. 

Here are bottle shots of my first four Sonoma County themed nail polishes, now available at Tallulah Boutique in Healdsburg, California. I will have them for sale on etsy in May.

Here's part of the interior of Tallulah Boutique. It is SUCH a great shop and I am so thrilled that they are carrying my polish line. If you are in the area, I encourage you to go check them out. You can find Tallulah Boutique at 226 Healdsburg Avenue, in Healdsburg, CA.

      Can you imagine how awful that would be to stick real cheese on your nails? LOL :)

      Thanks so much Sneakerette! I forget how hard it is to do circles until I try to do a mani based on them. :)

      Thanks so much Swååfie! This mani probably would not be a good one for nail biters, huh? ;) Thanks for your nice words about my polishes!
